Business / Re: Should I Open A Domiciliary Account? Why? by earthstronaut: 10:04pm On Sep 16, 2021
Truth234:
First, given the Nigeria's unstable economic situation and policymakers' fire brigade approach to foreign exchange and other economic matters. It is important to have a more stable savings account that can help curtail, manage and even profit from their recklessness or cluelessness.

Nigeria is a petrol-dollar economy. This simply means that Nigeria, Africa's largest economy with population of 200 million, have to sell crude oil to generate the US dollar needed to service her economy. Suggesting that any time OPEC or OPEC+ capped Nigeria's production or Millitants strike, the economy will suffer as the healthiness of the economy is directly tied to her foreign reserves (an account where all foreign revenues are kept for use).

However, the reason we suffer so much or why we have high forex volatility is because Nigeria is an import dependent economy. We import over 90 percent of what we consume due to our weak manufacturing sector. This, also explains the high unemployment rate of 33.33 percent since we export all of our jobs.

Now, here is how to mitigate the risk associated with this unpredictable nature of the Nigerian economy. Read one of my articles titled How to Save, Invest and Earn in US Dollar in Nigeria https://investorsking.com/2021/06/28/how-to-save-invest-and-earn-in-us-dollar-in-nigeria/

OPEN a Domicilary Account

Recently, I discovered a better and economically viable Domicilary Savings Account (FCMB, pls note this is purely for information purposes and not paid ads).

This account can be opened with just $10, Euro or Pound depending on your type of account.

Here is why I think this is better for people looking to start saving in USD, especially the youth.

Interest bearing account but forfeited once there are more than 3 withdrawals in a month.
A serialized non-clearing cheque-type withdrawal booklet used for withdrawal by account holder only.
Allows for Foreign Currency Salary payments and cash lodgement.
Account can be operated either as an individual or a joint account
NO charge on cash withdrawal.
Offers Issuance of foreign currency denominated drafts
Free E-mail transaction notifications
Free monthly electronic statements

Requirements for Opening FCMB Domicilary Savings Account - the most straightforward I have seen

Completed account opening form
1 passport photograph
Minimum of 18 years-old and provide the following:
International passport or Driver’s License or National ID card or Voters Card or Resident Permit (for immigrants)
Address verification e.g. Utility bill, recent bank statement or local authority tax bill etc.

Can I make transfers using the bank app?

Business / Re: Dangote Is Selling Dangote Flour Mills For N130 Billion ($361.11 Million) by earthstronaut: 7:00pm On Apr 23, 2019
soberdrunk:
When we tell them Dangote is not a "seasoned" entrepreneur, they will say it's "bad belle", "jealousy", they will say "what do you have", "are you rich" but isn't it becoming very obvious that all the sectors of of his business where he doesn't have "government induced monopolistic power" keeps packing up. First it was juice, then noodles, now flour...... angry

you forgot to add tomato as well.
the very useless man is a shinning example of crony capitalism.

JUBSAM:
Yes, the pay is average especially for starters but once you are consistent in writing you will get high earningbjobs.

At the moment, do not worry about withdrawal because once you get there you will cross it. You can get a friend who's in the US to do the withdrawal. Note that you can only withdraw once you have at least $20 available in you account. Payment request is made every Monday.

The time difference is no barrier. Just know that each assignment once released to jog has a validity period if 8 hours. Once you fail to submit within this time frame,
you get notified on the expiration of that assignment.


hello Jubsam
I just registered on zemandi using your referral code.
a few question though...
1) can I reject an assignment just before it elapses (say just minutes b4 it elapses)
2) the last task I was given, I managed to complete it (well written and all) but the wordcount was 1300 which was below the 1800 words demanded so I declined to submit it.
my question is should I have gone ahead to submit it?
in addition what is the minimum by which the achieved word count should lag behind the specified word count?
